Aisha Mendez is a name that recently caught the attention of viewers from all over the world. The main reason behind her sudden fame is her breakup with the ‘Virgin River’ fame actor Martin Henderson.

The main reason behind the confusion is her age difference from her ex-boyfriend Martin Henderson. Some sources state that Martin and Aisha have an age difference of 20 years, while some state that she is 17 years younger than Henderson.
Martin Henderson was born in 1974, and if we calculate her age by 20 years difference, then it is clear that she was born in the year 1994.
Currently, the age of Aisha Mendez will be 29 years old on April 2023. According to her birth date, her zodiac sign is Aries, and her ethnicity is Mestizos. Being born in Mexico, she holds Mexican nationality.

Her father, Samuel Mendez, is a wildlife photographer and a traveler. Her mother, Moya, holds the religious beliefs of Buddhism. She works at the Jamyang Buddhist Centre.
Her upbringing was totally different from a usual household. She has loved to travel since childhood. From her social media platform, Instagram, we can see that she is more into hippie culture and has been brought up following the Buddhist culture.
She was raised by her brother, Salim Mendez, who holds the same interests as Aisha. From treks to wildlife photography to following the preaching of Buddhism, Aisha and Salim have been raised to understand and enjoy the true essence of life.
How she met Martin Henderson?
The main reason Aisha came to the spotlight is because of her relationship with the New Zealand actor Martin Henderson.
It is still in suspense how a popular celebrity met this Mexican citizen. Whether it is a photo shoot or any friend set them up, everything behind their association revolves around the isolation time and lockdown because of Covid-19.
Some sources also reported they met in 2018 when Martin was sailing with a squad of sailors for plastic awareness. The duo ran into each other during that social drive.
Some stated that the two might have met when Martin stayed in Mexico during the first wave of Covid in 2020. However, the authenticity of this news is still in the dark. In April 2020, Martin opened up about his relationship with Aisha.

Martin spent the first half of 2020 in Mexico and wandered around the different places in Mexico. In May 2020, he posted a video, this time showing Aisha’s struggle with a pick from her shoe while traveling in the state of Baja California, Mexico.
